If the card does not go in smoothly, do not force it-pull it all the

way out and try again, keeping it straight as you insert it.

Secure the end of the card to the back of the computer with the

retaining screw. If there was a grounding tab underneath the

screw when you removed the metal slot cover, replace it now.
